"Never lick the courier."

From Sulriel's Taming the Wildflower.

I just think it's good advice, in general.

Heck, I've seen some very nice delivery-type gentlemen 'round my place of business that I might not mind licking in the slightest.

That said, here's another writing bit so I'm not entirely OT and dirty:

"Legolas laughed, a cheerless sound. 'Yes, I have always been aware of his affections. And he knows I love him, as he knows you love him. And his only wish is for you to hold him and to let him go.'"

From NierielRaina's "Ease My Heart", a short story about the wolfhound kept by Lady Eowyn (warning: character death). If you've ever had to take a beloved pet for one last visit to the vet or laid a special stone in your back yard, you'll probably tear up reading this one.

YAY! I got the author right this time! lol

From Viv's Gently Held this whole paragraph is perfect -


It’s his hands. When first we met, he touched my arm, awkwardly and as a supplicant before his goddess, but even then I thrilled to his touch. No long-fingered eldarin hand ever grazed my skin so warmly nor lit such bliss within me. He wore the ring of Barahir gingerly then, more brand than boon. And so he does to this day.
